If you have been exposed to any of the political discourse over the past few years, you’ve been treated to the buzzword, “Transparency.”

This is an effort by politicians to appeal to the voters that their preferred way of doing “The Peoples’ Business” is out in the open. It makes for a great sound bite, but the practice has no teeth.

Lest you think this is a rant on politics, I wouldn’t waste your time. My effort is to make the claim that transparency is alive and well in our daily lives; we just don’t see it.

Transparency is the ability to see through things. It’s a skill we all have but don’t fully recognize. That’s because this skill is mainly a feeling, one that we ignore too often.

The clue that something is speled wrong is first a feeling before we recognize it visually. It happens so fast. We see something, it first registers as a feeling and then it becomes apparent to our visual sense a split second later. The feeling registers first.

It may not be immediately apparent to you that it happens this way. So, just think back on something you were reading when, a sentence later, you went back to reread the sentence before it and found an error. Your visual sense saw it but didn’t recognize it until your feeling sense clued you in.

Your sensations are the catalyst to show you your gift of transparency.

We can all see through what is being attempted to be hidden. It has been referred to as “common sense.” We sense what another is hiding because, to the sensing part of us, it is commonly transparent.

We, as a culture, have been conditioned to ignore our sensations and put more stock in what we see. What is presented for our visual consumption is too often airbrushed with so many layers of concealment, it makes seeing untrustworthy. Your gut has no such handicap. The sensation is immediate and it nudges you to open your eyes and see what it feels.

You can make what is being offered to you much more transparent by paying attention to the sensations your body is sending you.

Seeing through things more clearly begins with paying more attention to what you’re sensing, rather than to what you are seeing.

It’s a skill worth developing. Seeing may be believing, but sensing will help you see through limiting beliefs.

All the best,

John
